This place is truly a gem!! I’d highly recommend to stop by to enjoy the delicious food, the heartwarming vibes that this place brings. As you enter, you find drinks and snacks on the left side and seating are in the middle, the line for the buffet starts on the right. You grab a tray that has been prepped with plate, bowl, and forks. The grandma was ushering us it, telling us grab food. It’s not just a welcoming gesture but also a homecoming feel to it. There are plenty of pork options, a few seafood and veggies options as well. My favorite were garlic fried rice, bitter melon and egg, lechon, and fried fish. Sauce station is in the right corner after the dessert with seasoning sauce and vinegar. Leave some room for the dessert because they are delicious as well. It’s per person including a bottle of water or coconut water for $2 extra. I wish I live near by so i’d never have to cook again!

Amazing! My favorite restaurant to visit when I travel to Miami. There is so much variety and everything is delicious. Plus the price can’t be beat at $15 for all you can eat buffet plus a drink.

We went and as soon as we entered we decided to leave, the place urgently needs a better ventilation system, too much heat and the smell of food so strong that it made our stomachs turn.

Manila Kantina is a true haven for Asian treats, especially Filipino favorites. They offer a Filipino buffet for around $17 (with drinks included)—a great deal considering the quality and variety of the food.
The service is incredibly warm and welcoming—the staff treat you like family, even calling you “anak” (which means “child” or “my child” in English). It adds a really homey touch, and they’ll happily encourage you to eat more since it’s a buffet!
The bathroom is clean, and aside from the buffet, they also sell Filipino grocery products, which is a nice bonus if you’re craving a taste of home.
The restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Miami, though parking can be tricky given the area. The dining area is simple and functional, but could be improved to match the aesthetics of other nearby restaurants.
Overall, it’s a great spot for Filipino food lovers or anyone curious to try hearty, authentic Filipino cuisine with a side of genuine hospitality.

Manila Kantina Buffet is a hidden gem in Miami. The price is very affordable, and the food tastes just like it was cooked by my grandmother. I don’t cook much, so finding a place that reminds me of home, after being far away from home for years this means a lot to me.
I actually came back twice during my 3 day trip because it was that good. The staff are also incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Filipino food. I’ll definitely tell all my friends about it too!
Nicest people and service. Authentic Filipino food!

I know there are almost good reviews here, but I can't lie. It would be an honest opinion and advice. The service is good, and she's nice. The food is delicious, but it's cold and needs a warmer pan. The place is hot, about 110 degrees, and needs air conditioning. The electric pan is available, but the glass door is closed. The parking lot is far and complicated, and you have to pay.
